The Review

Every day there are decisions that are made to protect society as a whole. How and why these decisions are made are just a portion of the story that will unfold before your very eyes. Some of the most dangerous people in the world are in one location and there is a small window of opportunity to deal with them. This small window of time will be spread out through most of this movie as you’re taken through the arduous process of the what, why and how that these decisions are made. The ramifications of the decisions and who will be held accountable. Are you ready for the answers? This goes deep into the cause / effect scenario as well as the risk / reward. Those in charge must decide if the reward is worth the risk even knowing what is at stake. There will be difficulties along the way and all varying points of view are approached and considered, even so, the final decision is never an easy one to make. That is unless you’re looking at the big picture. There will be those that watch this and pick apart the details, finding the flaws in the decisions that go on everyday throughout the world. There will also be those that will be in full support of what is happening, rooting for those that have the courage to make these decisions in the heat of opposition. Regardless of what side you’re on, this is an in depth piece on the cost of what doing what needs to be done. Those that question the details should be reminded of this:ﾠ”Never tell a soldier that he does not know the cost of war…” because there’s always more that we never see… Freedom isn’t free!
